In this special Halloween episode of Mind Power Meets Mystic, co-hosts Cinthia Varkevisser and Michelle Walters dive into ghost stories inspired by travel experiences, tales of haunted places, and encounters with energies from the past. With Halloween approaching, they focus on the mysterious, exploring unseen realms and sharing memorable and personal experiences with the supernatural.

Episode Highlights:

• Michelle’s Ghostly Experience in Puerto Rico:
• Michelle recalls an eerie visit to a historical dungeon in Puerto Rico, where she felt an overwhelming sense of sadness and lingering energy from the past. Reflecting on the weight of history and the energy left behind by those who had suffered there, she discusses the importance of respecting the invisible energies that can linger in historically charged places.
• Aaron’s Ghostly Companion:
• Cinthia shares the fascinating story of Aaron, a friend who picked up an unexpected guest during a visit to a castle dungeon in the UK. After returning home, Aaron felt different and sought Cinthia’s insight. She found an entity—similar to Ghostbusters’ Slimer—that had “hitched a ride” with Aaron back from the castle. Hear how Aaron resolved this ghostly attachment and returned to feeling like himself.
• Clearing Neglected Cemetery Boundaries:
• One of Cinthia’s clients felt compelled to clear a neglected part of a Southern California cemetery. Cinthia and her client joined forces to perform a compassionate clearing for souls who may have been buried outside the official cemetery boundary, either forgotten over time or unable to afford a traditional burial plot. Listen in as Cinthia recounts this profound and powerful ritual, where spirits lined up as if at a train station, guided toward release and healing.
• Healing Through Spirit Connection:
• The episode ends with Cinthia’s moving experience of witnessing her client help a spirit child cross over. This tender moment becomes a moment of healing, as her client’s own sense of motherhood and compassion deepens through the connection.

Takeaways from This Episode:

• Energy and spirits can linger in places with strong histories, and respecting those energies can deepen one’s experience when visiting these sites.
• Personal boundaries are key in places where energetic attachments are possible, especially in places historically associated with suffering or paranormal activity.
• Rituals and compassionate clearings can be healing experiences for both spirits and those performing the ritual.
• The healing potential of spirit work can be profound, sometimes helping people resolve their own personal struggles through interactions with the other side.

Episode Overview:

In this episode of Mind Power Meets Mystic, Cinthia and Michelle dive into the world of dating with special guest Narelle Shehan. Narelle shares her personal journey from post-divorce dating to the creation of her popular dating philosophy, Not a Nurse or a Purse. She emphasizes the importance of being specific about what you want in a partner, learning from past relationships, and standing firm in your boundaries.

Key Topics:

• The concept of Not a Nurse or a Purse: A guide for women (and men) to avoid slipping into caregiving roles (nurse) or being financially used (purse) in relationships.
• Narelle’s unique dating journey: From surviving a difficult divorce to dating 100 people as a way to rediscover what she wanted in a partner.
• The power of making a list of 100 things you want in a partner. Narelle explains how this practice helped her find someone who checked 99 of her 100 items.
• Why dating should be treated like a part-time job: It requires effort, intentionality, and perseverance.
• Online dating tips: Be honest in your profile, set clear boundaries, and don’t settle for someone who doesn’t align with your values.

Tips & Takeaways:

• Be specific: Create a list of 100 things you want in a partner, and don’t be afraid to ask for what you really want.

In this special episode of Mind Power Meets Mystic, Michelle Walters is joined by returning guest Eloise Hill to explore the rich history and traditions of Samhain, the ancient pagan festival that marks the end of the harvest season and the Celtic New Year. While Cinthia Varkevisser, our show mystic, is off this week, Eloise offers deep insights into Samhain and shares how this holiday has been celebrated for over 12,000 years.

Key Discussion Points:

• Cultural Overlaps: The connections between Samhain and other cultural traditions, such as Día de los Muertos and All Saints Day.
• Practical Ways to Celebrate: Eloise shares three spiritual practices to embrace during Samhain: meditation, tarot or oracle readings, and self-reflection through seasonal introspection.
• Tarot Spread for Samhain: A six-card tarot layout you can use to guide your reflections during this special time of year.
